Why They Jumped on washburuc.

Why They Jumped on Wnshburne.
Tho French newspapers have made
mincemeat OF ex-Minister Washburne for
what he has printed concerning the siege
Of Paris. Probably no unparalleled &C.
count OF that unhappy time could be given
to the world that would not stir up the
French bile. That was sorry season for
Trance aud particularly for Paris.
To his statement Of facts Mr.. Wash.
burno has added some comments, and
here he brought the standing army Of the
French press down on his back. What
could he expect, for example, when he
said, "Some OF the editors are the most
deliberate and inventive liars Of modern
times?" !, =
True, he said 'aome," but it happened
that he struck the great majority, and
they fell upon him without mercy and
without regard for truth. They discover.
that It was an old scandal that during tho
seige he abused his opportunity as the
representative Of friendly government to
run sort OF star postal route through the
lines at prices to suit the times, thereby
filling his !, Ysnkos wallet With good.
French francs. IN
II Mr.. Washburne had not referred to
the notorious propensity Of the French
press for connecting baseleas stories Of the
most ornate pattern, very much be records

DO no. want war. In the next place the
bes! way 10 prevent war 10 to lakc such
action 90 viii aatisfy public sentiment,
particularly in the fishery district OF the
United States. Unless this be promptly
done an outbreak Is likely to occur at any
time and the country be plunged into war.
The rctalistory measure passed by the
sansto las already had good effect on
the fishermen, who interpret It to mean
that their country has not forgotten them.
II that measure be approved by the House
the fishermen will be still further pacitiod.
The Edmunds RESOLUTION will do still moro
than that. 1t will put the United States
in position, and Just now We cannot do
better than to play for position.
We are not ready for an aggressive war.
II war must come we want 1t to como
from tho other aide, for on the defensive
we shall be strorg enough to take care Of
ourselves. The Edmunds resolution will
be doubly advantageous in this, that It
will in MI probability prevent war by
bringing tho Canadians to their aenscn, or,
il war cannot BIO avoided, 1t will then De

Tho Commerce Bill.

No measure has passed Congress in 70.
cent years that has been go variously in.
terpretsd as the Interstate Commerce
bill. You may have any opinion oil you
want from high authority on short notice.
This eminent authority Gays the long and
short haul clause will ruin vast areas OF
now prosperous territory. Another agrees
that /. would bo go II the enforcement Of
tho measure were not absolutely impos-
sible. .,,.r
Horo Is one who holds that the "short
haul" places will wish they had never been
BON, for the railroads are going to take q
malicious delight in enforcing the bill in
tho hopo Of making it odious and so
fastening the day Of it's repeal. With
regard to Determinations between ship
pers, pooling agreements and all that is
aimed at III tho bill, opinions are as various
and conflicting as on the points already
named.
Nobody aecmS willing to admit that he
has Gny clear conception Of the probable
operations of tho measure. Judge Cooley
says it will depend upon the Commits
sioners to great extent, snd so it will.
This the great railroad companies admit
when they lay their lines to have com.
mission OF their friends.
But there Is other testimony from the
railroads. They opposed the bill, and are
preparing to fight il in the courts, to say
nothing CT the evident determination to
make the measure oiious in its operation
il they can. All this warrants the hope
that II tho measure has lair chance it
will be productive Of some good-at least
enough 10 show its defects without ami
hilaling the whole thing.
II it shall be found that the bill con-
tains the correct principle, 1t will be a
comparatively easy matter to cut out what
may be bad and replace it with the good
that may bs lacking. The Commissioners
will have great power and equal RESPONSE
bility. 1t goes without saying that they
ought to men OF tho highest character and
capacity; not decayed politicians ap-
pointed because they must be taken

Weaving in Biblical Times,

There were not many regular manu- lecturers among the ancient Jews. There are, however, several beautiful allusions to weaving by Job, but this,
 like spinning the thread, was carried on as family employment rather than as Q regular trade. It is so now among Eastern nations. The loom and the in struments for spinning are of the plain est and simplest kind. In the descrip- tion of the virtuous women, Proverbs xxi, 10, to the end we have full and minute account of the manner in which these family employments were directed by the mistress. Nor was this only in the families of the lower and middle ranks. In the Greek and Roman his- tories we read of the wives of kings and generals being thus engaged. Homer, who lived soon after the time of Solomon, describes two queens-Pene- lope and Helcn-employed at their looms. Dr. Shaw found that the women in Barbary at the present day, were tho only persons who wove tho hykes or upper garments. These were coarse articles and they did not use shuttles, but passed the threads of the wool with their fingers. Solomon's vir- tuous woman is represented by ou1 translators of the Bible as having cloth. ing of silk; the word rendered silk, ac- cording to some authorities should be fine cotton cloth or muslin, as they state silk was then scarcely, if at all, known. Aurclian, the Roman Emperor 1900 years after the time of Solomon, refused his wife silk gown, because it was too expensive. We can therefore hardly suppose that Jewish woman of the middle class could have such clothing.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Live up to your engagement.
 Good character is above all things else.
 Never be idle, for work prevents poverty.
 It is better to be nobly remembered than to be nobly born.
 He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do anything.
 There are sweet surprises awaiting many an humble soul fighting against great odds in the battle of a seemin gly commonplace life. @@ Misfortune, whan VIC look upon il with our eyes is smaller than when our imagination sinks the evil down into the recesses of the soul.
 How fortunate above all others, is the man, who, in order to adjust himself to fate is not required to cast away his whole preceding life.
 The wise man expects everything from himself; the fool looks to others.
 In matters of conscience first thoughts are best; in matters of prudence last thoughts are best.
 There are moments in life, when past events, like winged shuttles, dart to and fro before us, and by their incessant movements weave a web which we our- selves, in greater or less degree, have spun and put upon the loom.

How Chinese Debtors arc Punished,

In the last batch of Chinese medical reports which have been published by order of the inspector general of cus- toms at Shanghai, Dr. w. Morrison, of Newchang, mentions Q revolting fact which must be new to many of our read CTS. It is that in some places in China debtors who are unablo to meet the claims of their creditors arc punished with the loss of sight. In the case which came under Dr. Morrison's ob- servation it was the debtors son who was the victim of this diabolical custom. He was tied hands and feet, and deprived wholly of the sight of one eye, while that of the other would have been lost but for timely surgical aid. The offence was that the poor fellows father owed the rcmorselcss creditors forty taels, or about ten pounds in English money. Dr. Morris on was informed that the practice was by no means uncommon, and that about the time he was attending to his patient another man was dying in the same neighborhood from similar injuries. The Chinese authorities arc invcstigat- ing the matter, and WIG hope that when Sir Robert Hart issues his next volume he will be able to speak of such bar barities as things of tho past,- Lond on News
